Abstract

In light of the persistent global prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), accurate and efficient early detection and intervention. This research delves into the realm of high-accuracy ECG heartbeat analysis, employing a robust convolutional neural network (CNN) approach with data augmentation to enhance classification performance. exploring a diverse range of heartbeat categories, including normal beats, unknown beatsbeats, and fusion beats. To address data imbalances and improve model generalization, a strategic data augmentation technique is implemented, focusing on upsampling minority classes. designed with multiple convolutional layers, batch normalization, and max-pooling, providing a comprehensive framework for feature extraction and pattern recognition in ECG signals. The model is trained and evaluated using key metrics such as accuracy and loss. Furthermore, the research showcases the augmentation on model performance and presents a detailed analysis . The investigation extends to the interpretation of model predictions, offering valuable insights into the distinguishing features of different heartbeat categories.
